I'm brand new and just graduated.........

I've looked and thought and thought and looked, I'm going to start at Werner next week. I know enough that any company of size is going to have alot of disgruntled employees, I know I can stick out out for at least a year.

before I go on I'd like to thank the members of this forum, before I even graduated I was lurking here gleaning as much knowledge as I could. when I was in resident training with other stupidents I tried to warn them about SWIFT. we were out driving when the swift recruiter started his presentation I made some snide remark about swift to my instructor, he knew where I was coming from but he really couldn't bad mouth them himself.

all I want to do is get out there and work! coming out of being self-employed I need to get through the werner training program and get my own truck. I'm 45 years old and me and my wife want to get out and go.

yeah it'll be hard at first, rookie runs and bad trips. I promised my instructor to get at least one year under my belt and then start looking for a better company. thanks to this forum I have Crete in mind, they may not have a good rep down in Florida because of that horrible accident but you can't judge a company on one employee.

I know I have alot to learn, and I'm looking to you guys for words of wisdom. go ahead and lay all the advise on me at once, 'cause I'm outta here Sunday morning.

 

I'm willing, I filled out an online app 3 weeks ago. they haven't replied back.

the placement councilor at school told me they are kinda picky, and they do hire out of schools just not this one. I graduated from national training inc they are supposed to be nationally accredited, I wonder which schools Crete hires out of?

just for giggles I'm going to go fill out another app.

 

I gotta tell you that part of Werner gives me chills, they let rookie drivers be trainers. I'm for sure going to ask my trainer how long he's been driving!

 

OK I reapplied to Crete they do not accept students from National but they want me to get 6 months experience and give them another app!
